Those caps make single-mailbox sending fine for personal mail but a poor fit for cold outreach at volume. Emailchaser spreads sending across warmed inboxes and manages deliverability, so you can scale without burning Mailgun accounts.

Common questions about Mailgun SMTP settings

What are Mailgun's SMTP settings?


Mailgun's outgoing (SMTP) server is smtp.mailgun.org. Use port 587 (STARTTLS) or 465 (SSL/TLS). STARTTLS on 587/2525/25 or SSL/TLS on 465. Sign in with your full email address and password (or app password).

What is Mailgun's IMAP or POP3 server?


Mailgun is a send-only service, so it has no IMAP or POP3 inbox — you configure it as an outgoing SMTP server only.

Which port should I use for Mailgun?


Use port 587 with STARTTLS wherever it's offered — it's the modern standard for authenticated sending. Port 465 with SSL/TLS is a solid alternative. Avoid port 25, which most networks block for client sending. Mailgun's recommended value is above.

Why won't my Mailgun SMTP connection work?


Check authentication first: Authenticate with the SMTP username (postmaster@your-domain) and the SMTP password from your domain's settings. Find or reset the SMTP password under Sending > Domain settings > SMTP credentials. Then confirm the host, port and security method match exactly — a 587/SSL or 465/STARTTLS mismatch will fail to connect.

Can I send bulk or cold email through Mailgun?


Not at scale. Set by your Mailgun plan. Providers throttle bursts to fight spam, so pushing cold email through one mailbox hits limits and wrecks deliverability. High-volume outreach belongs on dedicated infrastructure that spreads sending across warmed inboxes — which is what Emailchaser does.
